Royal Marines (RM) large pattern shoulder title in brass, of the type worn by personnel of the Corps as part of standard service and dress uniforms. This shoulder title features the bold “RM” initials in raised relief, executed in solid brass and designed for clear visibility when mounted on epaulettes or shoulder straps. The simple yet distinctive form reflects the practical and recognisable nature of British military uniform identifiers.
The Royal Marines, as the amphibious infantry of the Royal Navy, maintain a long and distinguished history dating back to the seventeenth century. Shoulder titles of this pattern served to denote corps identity across various orders of dress, particularly during the twentieth century, and were widely used prior to the adoption of more modern subdued insignia.
Manufactured in brass with lug fittings to the reverse, this example provides a representative example of British Royal Marines uniform hardware. Large pattern shoulder titles are collected as examples of British naval and marine insignia, corps identifiers, and twentieth-century military uniform components.
